Continuum of care program

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) awarded a $201,968 Continuum of Care Program (CFDA 14.267) Project Grant to the minority-owned, Black American-owned non-profit organization Love Doesnt Hurt, based in Memphis, Tennessee. The grant funding will support Love Doesnt Hurt's comprehensive social services focused on addressing homelessness, supporting victims of crime, and promoting community welfare in the Memphis area. Eligible activities under the Continuum of Care Program include permanent housing, transitional housing, supportive services, homeless management information systems (HMIS), and homelessness prevention, with the goal of quickly rehousing homeless individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness. This award represents the latest in a series of federal grant funding totaling approximately $432,072 that Love Doesnt Hurt has received from HUD over the past three years to deliver a range of services, including case management, mental health treatment, job training, and victim support, to vulnerable populations in the Memphis community.
